Sharon,

I am jumping up and down with excitement over all of your fabulous news!!! SO HAPPY that there is a future for Georgianna’s story!!! Yaaay! I am also so happy that you finally got to have that long overdue conversation with Deb! I am so glad that all the worry was for nothing. Let me know when you have free time….we NEED to go to lunch soon! Sending you love and hugs!!!!

Thanks Vee. It is faithful fans and friends like you that give me the confidence to push forward. Because of this type of support, and the sales to prove it, I was able to boldly state that I DO think Georgiana’s love story will do well on the marketplace. Perhaps not as much as the Saga, but then again we can attract the general romance reader who might not pick up an Austen spin-off. At least that is my hope!

I am glad you all understand the switch on FB and need to change. Believe me, it is a pain in the tooshie to do it all! I hope it pays off. LOL!

Hi Becky! Always a wonderful treat to see your name on my blog! I am thrilled you were sent an ARC. I figured Danielle would include you, but I do not have a list of which reviewers were sent ARCs so was not sure. I am very happy to hear you are enjoying it. That is one favorable review I can count on! LOL!

I am curious what your superiors say about Facebook? Like everything in this modern day of rapid communication and public access there are inherent dangers with online sites. But that is the same no matter where one visits on the web if they are not careful. I really love FB. I have gotten in touch with dozens of old friends and created many, many new friends (true friends) through chatting on FB.

Take care and come back whenever you can 🙂

Sharon this is the best news!!! I am so happy and cannot wait for Georgina’s story and looking forward to all your books to come. I am very excited and hoping, hoping that you write a book about Dr. Darcy also – as you know, I love that character and it will be fascinating for him to have his own book! For me I will read anything you write, your writting is an inspiration. Your new facebook page is great and I love your profile picture!! I am sure you are going to have many new fans very soon.

Have fun writting Sharon as we await…..

Dear Sharon!

All your news are fabulous! It is fantastic to get more books from you in the future.
Of course Dr.Darcy has a lot to tell: Georgiana´s story will be a big success and then? Well, who knows, maybe book 6 about Lizzy, Darcy and their children?
But whatever you choose to write about, I am sure, that it will be very, very good.
It´s great, that the sales are very good!
Thanks for your August newsletter; it´s been very interesting to read.
You are right, Facebook makes a lot of fun and it is the best way to follow you around.

My best wishes to you, your writing future is looking bright!
Lots of love,
Susanne

Thank you for sharing the details about your heart to heart with Deb. That is awesome news. Write away dear friend!!! We all love your writing and cannot wait to read more of your genius story telling! 🙂 I hope you do get to fulfill that dream of penning a book for Dr Darcy one of your dearest characters!
It actually makes perfect sense about your name on facebook Sharon, now that you explain it. The Darcy Saga Novels is a great name but I guess only long time fans understand it is your baby. New people need to know you first and then the awesomeness you create. Especially because even though the Darcys are you main foray at the moment who knows where you will delve next? Yep makes perfect sense and I will be racing over soon as I finish this to like your new page!!!
I am very excited for you Sharon and all these wonderful new developments. It is fantastic that you get so much positive feedback from these conferences. Your renewed enthusiasm really shows. Keep up all the great work dear friend we’re right behind you!

First of all, congrats on future endeavors! You know I’m a huge believer and fan of your writing. I have to say, I finally broke down and placed my little toe into the Facebook world. Educators have been scared away by those above us, so I’m still nervous to use it. I figured though, where most of my endeavors and interests are in line with my love of literature, I’ll be okay. Right? 🙂

No need to put me in the for the drawing though. *whispers* I have a copy that I’m reading right now for review, and don’t know HOW I’ll wait to post my thoughts! I actually had to put it away so I could finish a couple of books before school starts in two weeks. I’m teaching a Popular YA Fiction class, so I think your book will be a much-needed sigh of relief and break for me once I get that class off the ground! LOL.

Well, congrats on everything. It looks like you had a great trip, conference, and general time away with your family. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself with us all!
